Data protection declaration

Thank you very much for visiting our website and for your interest in our company and products/services. Protecting your personal data is very important to us. For that reason, we would like to inform you when we collect personal data and what purposes we use them for.

What are personal data?

Personal data are information which can be used to identify a person, i.e. specifications that can be traced back to a person. These include names, E-mail addresses, telephone numbers or birth dates. Information about one’s predilections, hobbies or the websites they view also constitutes individual-related data.

Data collection

Unless specified otherwise in the following, no personal data will be collected from you, processed or used during the use of our website. We only collect, use or transfer personal data if doing so is legally permissible or you have granted your consent to the data collection. From using Google Analytics, we only obtain technical information which is transmitted by your browser, such as the browser type/version, operating system used, the web pages you have visited at our site, including length of stay there. This information is only assessed for statistical purposes.

Enquires / contact
We only collect personal data if you provide them to is, for instance in our contact form or if you contact us via E-mail. When sending highly sensitive data or information, it is recommended to encrypt the E-mails, since complete data security on the transmission route cannot be guaranteed otherwise. We only use and save the data you provide us with to process your request and may forward them to the relevant department in our company in order to ensure proper and competent handling. If you provide us with more than one communication channel (telephone number, E-mail, etc.), then you automatically grant your consent that we may use them to handle your request. Your data can be deleted upon request once your request has been completed unless statutory retention duties prevent doing so.

Data transfer to third parties
The personal data you provide us with will be protected from access by unauthorised third parties through the use of all technical and organisational security measures. Any external service providers who come into contact with your individual-related data have already been verified to ensure that they act in compliance with the provisions of data protection legislation.

The limitations pursuant to Sections 34 and 35 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BGDS) apply to the rights to information and deletion. There is also a right to file a complaint to a data protection authority (Art. 77 in conjunction with Section 19 BDSG).

Information on your right of objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR:

You have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons based on your specific situation. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your individual-related data unless we can demonstrate urgent reasons for the processing which are worthy of protection and override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
